Large SUVs and utes are 82% more likely to kill children in collisions- 44% more likely to kill adult pedestrians or cyclists. They damage our roads and add to air pollution, harming our health.
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

You deserve your penalty rates.
That's why Labor passed laws this year to protect them for millions of Australians.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

The unprecedented second wave of influenza in NSW continues to grow, driven by A/H3N2 subclade K - "Kangaroo variant". Even if the peak is imminent (no sign of that), it looks set to continue well into January.
No sign of any effective public health response.

This piece and the quotes from QLD Health really mischaracterise the current situation. WRT NNDSS case data, there is clearly an unprecedented second wave underway, with cases rising again (after a trough in October) to roughly half the winter peak.

‘Particularly strange’: Ombudsman damns welfare compliance
In an interview with The Saturday Paper, the Commonwealth ombudsman says government departments still need to ‘unlearn’ the culture that produced robodebt.

The "Cardiovascular Patients" cohort are also improving by around 3% per year. However as they finished the study ~70% down on the baseline, it will likely take decades for them to fully recover.
